1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Background: EGFR kinase domain duplication (EGFR-KDD) is an infrequent oncogenic driver mutation in lung adenocarcinoma. It may be a potential target benefit from EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) treatment. Case presentation: A 66-year-old Chinese male was diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma in stage IVb with brain metastases. Next-generation sequencing revealed EGFR-KDD mutation. The patient received furmonertinib 160mg daily for anti-cancer treatment and obtained therapeutic efficacy with partial response (PR). Progression-free survival (PFS) duration from monotherapy was 16 months. With slow progressions, combined radiotherapy and anti-vascular targeted therapy also brought a continuous decrease in the tumors. The patient has an overall survival (OS) duration of more than 22 months and still benefits from double-dose furmonertinib. Conclusions: This report provided direct evidence for the treatment of EGFR-KDD to use furmonertinib. A Large-scale study is needed to confirm this preliminary finding.
